A use for some mint?

This post is *long* overdue

On Monday I went to the state fair knowing the drinks would be expensive as would the food be expensive there I decided to have a drink ready to go

I used a 12 oz waterbottle (tin) that I got from eaa (i took 2 with 1 broke) I assume that this recepie can be altered to different amounts that's why I'm saying how much water I had

So I took 3 large stevia leaves washed them then lightly folded them and put 3 tears in the leaves then put them in the water bottle

I also put 3-4 freshly cut 4/5" mint sprigs in after I washed them then bruised the leaves by lightly twisting them around the base after pulling them up I hope that makes sence

By the time I was ready to drink it it was more like a light tea about a quarter the strength that I would like for a mint tea however for a light green tea it I think was great

Even the next morning the mint in the waterbottles looked very happy when I pulled them out
